Indeed I use emacs in Linux. But it is very strange: 1. It worked always fine with Lilypond 2.4.6 and the following versions. Now I have 2.6.4.3. and the problem started. 2. And: it does not work with jedit! I love Lilypond but each upgrade serves a new surprise :-) Thank you, Wolfgang PS: M

Re: 2 questions concerning skips and dynamics

2005-12-15 Thread Mats Bengtsson
I would recommend you to first typeset your dynamics in a normal stave attached to normal notes and make sure that you understand exactly how they are positioned relative to the notes. Then, you can simply replace the notes by skips and use them in the Dynamics context instead. A good starting poi

A third alternative is to define an extra "line of music" that only contains the break commands (and other differences between the instrumental part and the score): scorespecifics = { \skip 1*24 \break \skip 1*35 \break } violinpartspecifics = { \skip 1*18 \break } and then include these in the r

Just give an explicit name to the Voice of the first guitar: firstGuitar = \context Voice GuitarOne { then your commented lines should work directly. For the separate parts, you could mark the lyrics with tags. A simple alternative is to write out the full \score block for each separate version

I see some cases where this would be clearly a win. Few weeks ago, a singer asked me to change all alto clefs to treble clefs in a voice+piano reduction score. Just redefining the \clef music function would have made that really easy and quick. A query replace alto -> treble is probably

It's certainly no surprise that your "problems" started when you changed from 2.4 to 2.6, since in version 2.4 you could only use latin1 encoding (or plain ASCII), which means that LilyPond could only handle western European text, whereas in verson 2.6 you can "only" use UTF-8 encoding, which mean

It's true that the jazz chord names printed by lilypond are weird from a jazz perspective and it is also true that there is a mechanism via chordNameExceptions to tweak the output or one could always use text markup to do it exactly as one wishes. true (1) Text markup for chords don't allow yo
